Re: [Gimp-developer] Enhancement request GIMP "Search for all commands"

[Srihari Sriraman <srihari visishta net>]

Hey Mika,

It's great to see you person share my needs as well.
I built Tito for GIMP a couple of years ago for the same purpose.

Here is a demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0PuH1LFWhA
I even blogged about it: http://sriharisriraman.in/blog/2013/09/15/gimp-tito

Good thing is that Jehan is now helping in getting this into master.
You can see the progress on that in the feature request here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708174

If you are a developer, please do join in! it would be great to have
another collaborator on this.
